Although that's possible, it's also possible to recognise the degree to which something as powerful as sexual pleasure can enslave you to your own detriment.

The species will survive just fine with advances in science and technology.  Someday sex may be obsolete in that regards.
No extreme is justified imo.

Does one extreme justify the other? If someone cannot discipline themselves in regards to sex, going to the unnatural extreme and denying themselves the act altogether is: healthy or unhealthy?

"Enslaved" by sex? I hope that is referring to the likes of Ted Bundy and not average sexual desire, in the latter case there is no reason to believe it in excess. Our natural sexual drive is necessary for the survival of the species, while an abstract and fabricated concept of moral-discipline in regard to sex isn't.

In my opinion it comes from the socially abject who were typically made shamans in the annals of history, they couldn't get any and didn't want anyone else to so they started pretending they were better than everyone else through their social failures. "god likes sober/celibate people more than everyone else, because they "dedicate" themselves to him"

These socially abject people who were given some form of power used their position to masticate everyone else in anyway possible (much like stereotypical corrupt police).

That's just my opinion, and normally I don't put much weight behind my own speculation but my observations of human nature lead me to lean pretty heavily on this hypothesis. One example are some autistic people I know, three in particular each of whom behave exactly according to this idea - they are socially completely inept and bend their perception of life to put themselves on top and everyone else below to cope with it. Their weaknesses become strengths in their autistic minds, and the strength of others weaknesses, never mind any concrete evidence to their inadequacies.

I'm not convinced that morality has anything to do with it, that sounds like more of a Christian thing. I don't think there's anything immoral about consenting sex between adults,

but that doesn't change that there's power in you controlling your cock rather than the other way around.
